Food Law

Preface

Credits: This document represents one (1) section of eighty four 84 chapters that are contained in the Scripture. This document is not complete and may never be complete because often times I read the same verse and I learn something new or get a new insight. The more I delve into this, the more I really love this Creator because I am seeing more and more the Wisdom and the Love for us contained in the Scripture.

Introduction to the Laws of the Creator

I use the King James Version annotated to have access to the Hebrew words used in each case because sometimes it helps to clarify the meaning of a sentence. It may be a little unusual to read with the numbering system at first but over time it will be a benefit to you, dear reader. To get understanding of God’s Word, we need to approach God in prayer, and praise, and thanksgiving for His Sovereignty and request that the Author, which is the Holy Ghost give us understanding, and knowledge and the wisdom necessary to read and understand and act upon the knowledge.

Beginning all study with praise to God!

Psalms 19:1-14 KJV+

(1)To the chief Musician,^H5329A Psalm^H4210of David.^H1732 The heavens^H8064 declare^H5608 the glory^H3519 of God;^H410 and the firmament^H7549 sheweth^H5046 his handywork.^{H4639 H3027}

(2) Day^H3117 unto day^H3117 uttereth^H5042 speech,^H562 and night^H3915 unto night^H3915 sheweth^H2331 knowledge.^H1847

(3)There is no^H369 speech^H562 nor^H369 language,^H1697where their voice^H6963 is not^H1097 heard.^H8085

(4) Their line^H6957 is gone out^H3318 through all^H3605 the earth,^H776 and their words^H4405 to the end^H7097 of the world.^H8398 In them hath he set^H7760 a tabernacle^H168 for the sun,^H8121

(5) Which^H1931is as a bridegroom^H2860 coming out^H3318 of his chamber,^{H4480 H2646}and rejoiceth^H7797 as a strong man^H1368 to run^H7323 a race.^H734

(6) His going forth^H4161is from the end^{H4480 H7097} of the heaven,^H8064 and his circuit^H8622 unto^H5921 the ends^H7098 of it: and there is nothing^H369 hid^H5641 from the heat^{H4480 H2535} thereof.

(7) The law^H8451 of the LORD^H3068is perfect,^H8549 converting^H7725 the soul:^H5315 the testimony^H5715 of the LORD^H3068is sure,^H539 making wise^H2449 the simple.^H6612

(8) The statutes^H6490 of the LORD^H3068are right,^H3477 rejoicing^H8055 the heart:^H3820 the commandment^H4687 of the LORD^H3068is pure,^H1249 enlightening^H215 the eyes.^H5869

(9) The fear^H3374 of the LORD^H3068is clean,^H2889 enduring^H5975 for ever:^H5703 the judgments^H4941 of the LORD^H3068are true^H571and righteous^H6663 altogether.^H3162

(10) More to be desired^H2530are they than gold,^{H4480 H2091} yea, than much^H7227 fine gold:^{H4480 H6337} sweeter^H4966 also than honey^{H4480 H1706} and the honeycomb.^{H5317 H6688}

(11) Moreover^H1571 by them is thy servant^H5650 warned:^H2094and in keeping^H8104 of them there is great^H7227 reward.^H6118

(12) Who^H4310 can understand^H995his errors?^H7691 cleanse^H5352 thou me from secret^{H4480 H5641}faults.

(13) Keep back^H2820 thy servant^H5650 also^H1571 from presumptuous^{H4480 H2086}sins; let them not^H408 have dominion^H4910 over me: then^H227 shall I be upright,^H8552 and I shall be innocent^H5352 from the great^H7227 transgression.^{H4480 H6588}

(14) Let the words^H561 of my mouth,^H6310 and the meditation^H1902 of my heart,^H3820 be^H1961 acceptable^H7522 in thy sight,^H6440 O LORD,^H3068 my strength,^H6697 and my redeemer.^H1350

• A Brief introduction to Unjust Weights and Measures A quick expose of what true money could mean for the individual. Obey God’s word and keep his Commandments and decide for yourself.

Quick summary:

The Hebrew is not to eat any unclean meats. If I go to someone’s house and pork only is served, I would likely be excused to eat that time as per Luke 10:8-11. God set up these laws in his great wisdom having created the interrelated systems of the human being including the cardiovascular, respiratory, waste, kidney, liver purification, detoxification, endocrine, and lymphatic system to keep the human being alive indefinitely, however, due to sin, human beings have by their choices limited their lives. God having reduced the lifespan to a max of 120 years yet people only receive 70 at best and most of them, because of lawlessness, receive even fewer.

There is a penalty for eating trash; there is a penalty for sin. But God does not come down here and whack you upside the head if you eat garbage. You just get the physical results of putting garbage into your body which is health problems. The remedy: a return to the Creator’s laws on food.

The things to teach generally about the food law are in the New Testament. If a person were interested in obeying God and keeping his Commandments then the first step would be to acknowledge the Son of God and believe that his sacrifice is sufficient for you personally, and then to learn and act upon the commandments which he has spoken.

Prohibition against eating blood and fat

The laws related to the consumption of Blood and fat.

These laws are set up to make it clear the duty of the man so there is no misunderstanding as to the demands of the Creator God concerning the consumption of blood and fat.

No blood and no animal fat shall be eaten. The reason given by the Author of the Scripture is that “the life is in the blood”.

The fat is to be used for a burnt offering of a sweet savor unto Yahuwah. This is a “never ending statute”.

This law may likely be to prevent us from getting health problems related to heart disease and other harmful health issues.

I have recently learned that blood contains both nutrients and toxins. Fifty percent of the blood in the body would contain nutrition and beneficial things for the body, yet the other fifty percent would contain the toxins and the waste created by the body. The blood would contain both waste and nutrients, thus it is unclean.

Clearly in Leviticus the warning about blood and fat are mentioned but to be sure the second witness should be mentioned. The life is in the blood according to Leviticus 17:14.

(24) And the fat^H2459 of the beast that dieth of itself,^H5038 and the fat^H2459 of that which is torn with beasts,^H2966 may be used^H6213 in any^H3605 other use:^H4399 but ye shall in no wise eat^{H3808 H398 H398} of it.

Clean and unclean meats

• Land animals: Genesis clarifies that there is in fact a difference between clean and unclean animals. Noah took 7 pairs of the clean animals, and only two pairs of the unclean animals and put them into the ark.

Genesis 7:1-3 KJV+

(1) And the LORD^H3068 said^H559 unto Noah,^H5146 Come^H935 thou^H859 and all^H3605 thy house^H1004 into^H413 the ark;^H8392 for^H3588 thee have I seen^H7200 righteous^H6662 before^H6440 me in this^H2088 generation.^H1755

(2) Of every^{H4480 H3605} clean^H2889 beast^H929 thou shalt take^H3947 to thee by sevens,^{H7651 H7651} the male^H376 and his female:^H802 and of^H4480 beasts^H929 that^H834are not^H3808 clean^H2889 by two,^H8147 the male^H376 and his female.^H802

(3) Of fowls^{H4480 H5775} also^H1571 of the air^H8064 by sevens,^{H7651 H7651} the male^H2145 and the female;^H5347 to keep seed^H2233 alive^H2421 upon^H5921 the face^H6440 of all^H3605 the earth.^H776

This is the food law given to Moses by God in Leviticus chapter 11. I have put the entire chapter here and some of my notes .

(Leviticus 11:1 KJV+) And the LORD^H3068 spake^H1696 unto^H413 Moses^H4872 and to^H413 Aaron,^H175 saying^H559 unto^H413 them,

(Leviticus 11:2 KJV+) Speak^H1696 unto^H413 the children^H1121 of Israel,^H3478 saying,^H559 These^H2063are the beasts^H2416 which^H834 ye shall eat^H398 among all^{H4480 H3605} the beasts^H929 that^H834are on^H5921 the earth.^H776

The general rule on what animals on the land that may be eaten:

The rule on what animals that walk the earth can be eaten is in this verse. It is easier to describe the rule to determine what can be eaten than it is to try to figure out every prohibited animal. There are three characteristics that the land beast must have and they are 1. Cloven footed; 2. Splits the hoof; 3. Chews the cud.

• (Leviticus 11:3 KJV+) Whatsoever^H3605 parteth^H6536 the hoof,^H6541 and is clovenfooted,^{H8156 H8157 H6541}and cheweth^H5927 the cud,^H1625 among the beasts,^H929 that shall ye eat.^H398

(Leviticus 11:4 KJV+) Nevertheless^{H389 (H853)} these^H2088 shall ye not^H3808 eat^H398 of them that chew^{H4480 H5927} the cud,^H1625 or of them that divide^{H4480 H6536} the hoof:^H6541as^(H853) the camel,^H1581 because^H3588 he^H1931 cheweth^H5927 the cud,^H1625 but divideth^H6536 not^H369 the hoof;^H6541 he^H1931is unclean^H2931 unto you.

More Clarity on the Land animals that are clean Deut 14: 1-21

Deuteronomy clarities some of the permitted animals for the diet such as the deer, and the goat, the ox and the sheep.

• Animals in the waters

The rule on what animals that are in the waters that can be eaten are summarized in this verse. The two characteristics are 1. it must have fins; 2. it must have scales. If either one of these two characteristics are lacking then the animal is unclean and not to be eaten.

• (Leviticus 11:9 KJV+)^(H853) These^H2088 shall ye eat^H398 of all^{H4480 H3605} that^H834are in the waters:^H4325 whatsoever^{H3605 H834} hath fins^H5579 and scales^H7193 in the waters,^H4325 in the seas,^H3220 and in the rivers,^H5158 them shall ye eat.^H398

(Leviticus 11:11 KJV+) They shall be^H1961 even an abomination^H8263 unto you; ye shall not^H3808 eat^H398 of their flesh,^{H4480 H1320} but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.^{H8262 (H853) H5038}

(Leviticus 11:12 KJV+) Whatsoever^{H3605 H834} hath no^H369 fins^H5579 nor scales^H7193 in the waters,^H4325 that^H1931shall be an abomination^H8263 unto you.

The flying beasts that are prohibited

(Leviticus 11:13 KJV+) And these^H428are they which ye shall have in abomination^H8262 among^H4480 the fowls;^H5775 they shall not^H3808 be eaten,^H398 they^H1992are an abomination:^{H8263 (H853)} the eagle,^H5404 and the ossifrage,^H6538 and the ospray,^H5822

(Leviticus 11:14 KJV+) And the vulture,^H1676 and the kite^H344 after his kind;^H4327

(Leviticus 11:15 KJV+)^(H853) Every^H3605 raven^H6158 after his kind;^H4327

(Leviticus 11:16 KJV+) And the owl,^{H1323 H3284} and the night hawk,^H8464 and the cuckow,^H7828 and the hawk^H5322 after his kind,^H4327

(Leviticus 11:17 KJV+) And the little owl,^H3563 and the cormorant,^H7994 and the great owl,^H3244

(Leviticus 11:18 KJV+) And the swan,^H8580 and the pelican,^H6893 and the gier eagle,^H7360

(Leviticus 11:19 KJV+) And the stork,^H2624 the heron^H601 after her kind,^H4327 and the lapwing,^H1744 and the bat.^H5847

(Leviticus 11:20 KJV+) All^H3605 fowls^H5775 that creep,^H8318 going^H1980 upon^H5921all four,^H702shall be an abomination^H8263 unto you.

Now the birds that we are permitted to eat

(Leviticus 11:21 KJV+) Yet^{H389 (H853)} these^H2088 may ye eat^H398 of every^{H4480 H3605} flying^H5775 creeping thing^H8318 that goeth^H1980 upon^H5921all four,^H702 which^H834 have legs^H3767 above^{H4480 H4605} their feet,^H7272 to leap^H5425 withal^H2004 upon^H5921 the earth;^H776

So the question arises which of the birds leap upon the earth The chicken, the turkey, and the like.

For example: the duck does not leap upon the earth, it waddles on the ground, thus is unclean.

Although the eagle leaps there is a prohibition against it, as with many other flying animals.

It appears to me that the prohibited creatures of the air have one thing in common: They are scavengers and are part of the clean up department of the Creation.

Bugs on the land

The bugs that are permitted to be eaten like the locust and the grasshopper.

(Leviticus 11:22 KJV+)Even^(H853) these^H428 of^H4480 them ye may eat;^{H398 (H853)} the locust^H697 after his kind,^H4327 and the bald locust^H5556 after his kind,^H4327 and the beetle^H2728 after his kind,^H4327 and the grasshopper^H2284 after his kind.^H4327

(Leviticus 11:23 KJV+) But all^H3605other flying^H5775 creeping things,^H8318 which^H834 have four^H702 feet,^H7272shall be an abomination^H8263 unto you.

(Leviticus 11:24 KJV+) And for these^H428 ye shall be unclean:^H2930 whosoever^H3605 toucheth^H5060 the carcase^H5038 of them shall be unclean^H2930 until^H5704 the even.^H6153

(Leviticus 11:26 KJV+)The carcases of every^H3605 beast^H929 which^H834 divideth^H6536 the hoof,^H6541 and is not^H369 clovenfooted,^{H8156 H8157} nor^H369 cheweth^H5927 the cud,^H1625are unclean^H2931 unto you: every one^H3605 that toucheth^H5060 them shall be unclean.^H2930

(Leviticus 11:27 KJV+) And whatsoever^H3605 goeth^H1980 upon^H5921 his paws,^H3709 among all manner^H3605 of beasts^H2416 that go^H1980 on^H5921all four,^H702 those^H1992areunclean^H2931 unto you: whoso^H3605 toucheth^H5060 their carcase^H5038 shall be unclean^H2930 until^H5704 the even.^H6153

(Leviticus 11:28 KJV+) And he that beareth^{H5375 (H853)} the carcase^H5038 of them shall wash^H3526 his clothes,^H899 and be unclean^H2930 until^H5704 the even:^H6153 they^H1992are unclean^H2931 unto you.

(Leviticus 11:29 KJV+) These^H2088 also shall be unclean^H2931 unto you among the creeping things^H8318 that creep^H8317 upon^H5921 the earth;^H776 the weasel,^H2467 and the mouse,^H5909 and the tortoise^H6632 after his kind,^H4327

(Leviticus 11:30 KJV+) And the ferret,^H604 and the chameleon,^H3581 and the lizard,^H3911 and the snail,^H2546 and the mole.^H8580

(Leviticus 11:31 KJV+) These^H428are unclean^H2931 to you among all^H3605 that creep:^H8318 whosoever^H3605 doth touch^H5060 them, when they be dead,^H4194 shall be unclean^H2930 until^H5704 the even.^H6153

(Leviticus 11:32 KJV+) And upon^H5921 whatsoever^{H3605 H834}any of^H4480 them, when they are dead,^H4194 doth fall,^H5307 it shall be unclean;^H2930 whether it be any^{H4480 H3605} vessel^H3627 of wood,^H6086 or^H176 raiment,^H899 or^H176 skin,^H5785 or^H176 sack,^H8242 whatsoever^H3605 vessel^H3627it be, wherein^H834any work^H4399 is done,^H6213 it must be put^H935 into water,^H4325 and it shall be unclean^H2930 until^H5704 the even;^H6153 so it shall be cleansed.^H2891

(Leviticus 11:33 KJV+) And every^H3605 earthen^H2789 vessel,^H3627 whereinto^{H834 H413 H8432}any of^H4480 them falleth,^H5307 whatsoever^{H3605 H834}is in^H8432 it shall be unclean;^H2930 and ye shall break^H7665 it.

The Water fountain/Water well, or water source is Clean

• This little precept shows the wisdom of God. The water source is considered to be clean. Like a flowing water source or a lake or a stream or a spring.

• (Leviticus 11:36 KJV+) Nevertheless^H389 a fountain^H4599 or pit,^H953wherein there is plenty^H4723 of water,^H4325 shall be^H1961 clean:^H2889 but that which toucheth^H5060 their carcase^H5038 shall be unclean.^H2930

(Leviticus 11:37 KJV+) And if^H3588any part of^H4480 their carcase^H5038 fall^H5307 upon^H5921 any^H3605 sowing^H2221 seed^H2233 which^H834 is to be sown,^H2232 it^H1931shall be clean.^H2889

(Leviticus 11:38 KJV+) But if^H3588any water^H4325 be put^H5414 upon^H5921 the seed,^H2233 and any part of their carcase^{H4480 H5038} fall^H5307 thereon,^H5921 it^H1931shall be unclean^H2931 unto you.

(Leviticus 11:39 KJV+) And if^H3588 any beast,^H929 of^H4480 which^H834 ye may eat,^H402 die;^H4191 he that toucheth^H5060 the carcase^H5038 thereof shall be unclean^H2930 until^H5704 the even.^H6153

(Leviticus 11:40 KJV+) And he that eateth^H398 of the carcase^{H4480 H5038} of it shall wash^H3526 his clothes,^H899 and be unclean^H2930 until^H5704 the even:^H6153 he also that beareth^{H5375 (H853)} the carcase^H5038 of it shall wash^H3526 his clothes,^H899 and be unclean^H2930 until^H5704 the even.^H6153

(Leviticus 11:41 KJV+) And every^H3605 creeping thing^H8318 that creepeth^H8317 upon^H5921 the earth^H776shall be an abomination;^H8263 it shall not^H3808 be eaten.^H398

(Leviticus 11:42 KJV+) Whatsoever^H3605 goeth^H1980 upon^H5921 the belly,^H1512 and whatsoever^H3605 goeth^H1980 upon^H5921all four,^H702 or whatsoever^H3605 hath more^H7235 feet^H7272 among all^H3605 creeping things^H8318 that creep^H8317 upon^H5921 the earth,^H776 them ye shall not^H3808 eat;^H398 for^H3588 they^H1992are an abomination.^H8263

(Leviticus 11:43 KJV+) Ye shall not^H408 make yourselves abominable^{H8262 (H853) H5315} with any^H3605 creeping thing^H8318 that creepeth,^H8317 neither^H3808 shall ye make yourselves unclean^H2930 with them, that ye should be defiled^H2930 thereby.

(Leviticus 11:44 KJV+) For^H3588 I^H589am the LORD^H3068 your God:^H430 ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves,^H6942 and ye shall be^H1961 holy;^H6918 for^H3588 I^H589am holy:^H6918 neither^H3808 shall ye defile^{H2930 (H853)} yourselves^H5315 with any manner^H3605 of creeping thing^H8318 that creepeth^H7430 upon^H5921 the earth.^H776

(Leviticus 11:46 KJV+) This^H2063is the law^H8451 of the beasts,^H929 and of the fowl,^H5775 and of every^H3605 living^H2416 creature^H5315 that moveth^H7430 in the waters,^H4325 and of every^H3605 creature^H5315 that creepeth^H8317 upon^H5921 the earth:^H776

(Leviticus 11:47 KJV+) To make a difference^H914 between^H996 the unclean^H2931 and the clean,^H2889 and between^H996 the beast^H2416 that may be eaten^H398 and the beast^H2416 that^H834 may not^H3808 be eaten.^H398

Gentiles are only required to these statutes I have heard from others. Does that mean that pork/swine is now permitted? I don’t think so because the bad health that results from eating such seems to me to be a penalty of sorts.

(Acts 15:20 KJV+) But^G235 that we write^G1989 unto them,^G846 that they abstain^G567 from^G575 pollutions^G234 of idols,^G1497 and^G2532from fornication,^G4202 and^G2532from things strangled,^G4156 and^G2532from blood.^G129

(Acts 15:29 KJV+) That ye abstain^G567 from meats offered to idols,^G1494 and^G2532 from blood,^G129 and^G2532 from things strangled,^G4156 and^G2532 from fornication:^G4202 from^G1537 which^G3739 if ye keep^G1301 yourselves,^G1438 ye shall do^G4238 well.^G2095 Fare ye well.^G4517

(Acts 21:25 KJV+)^(G1161) As touching^G4012 the^G3588 Gentiles^G1484 which believe,^G4100 we^G2249 have written^G1989and concluded^G2919 that they^G846 observe^G5083 no^G3367 such thing,^G5108 save^G1508 only that they keep^G5442 themselves^G846 from^(G5037)things offered to idols,^G1494 and^G2532 from blood,^G129 and^G2532 from strangled,^G4156 and^G2532 from fornication.^G4202

New Testament flawed argument

The New Testament argument that there are no food restrictions now that Christ has arrived are often based upon this vision of Peter. It is inaccurate and not supportable by Scripture.

The first issue I want to address is the common sentiment that there is no more restrictions on what a follower of the Messiah can eat. The most common misconception of this occurs because of a misunderstanding of the vision of Peter when he sees the sheet descending from heaven containing all sorts of animals and the voice from heaven saying> Rise Peter, Kill and eat> and Peter says No so, no unclean thing have I eaten.

If the food law had truly been done away with, Peter would have known about it. Would a disciple of Jesus not have known about a repealed law? I would think Peter would have been fully aware of it. Peter would have had to be very confident to refuse an instruction by God himself to “Kill and eat” the unclean animals in the sheet. Peter refused three (3) times to obey a direct command to “Kill, and eat”. Later in the story we learn that the dream is not about food at all but about preaching to the Gentiles the Word of God.

The incident is contained here:

Acts 10:9-20 KJV+

(9) On^(G1161) the^G3588 morrow,^G1887 as they^G1565 went on their journey,^G3596 and^G2532 drew nigh^G1448 unto the^G3588 city,^G4172 Peter^G4074 went up^G305 upon^G1909 the^G3588 housetop^G1430 to pray^G4336 about^G4012 the sixth^G1623 hour:^G5610

(10) And^G1161 he became^G1096 very hungry,^G4361 and^G2532 would^G2309 have eaten:^G1089 but^G1161 while they^G1565 made ready,^G3903 he fell^G1968 into^G1909 a^(G846) trance,^G1611

(11) And^G2532 saw^G2334 heaven^G3772 opened,^G455 and^G2532 a certain^G5100 vessel^G4632 descending^G2597 unto^G1909 him,^G846 as it had been^G5613 a great^G3173 sheet^G3607 knit^G1210 at the four^G5064 corners,^G746 and^G2532 let down^G2524 to^G1909 the^G3588 earth:^G1093

(13) And^G2532 there came^G1096 a voice^G5456 to^G4314 him,^G846 Rise,^G450 Peter;^G4074 kill,^G2380 and^G2532 eat.^G5315

(14) But^G1161 Peter^G4074 said,^G2036 Not so,^G3365 Lord;^G2962 for^G3754 I have never^G3763 eaten^G5315 any thing^G3956 that is common^G2839 or^G2228 unclean.^G169

Fasting

What is fasting and who and why should anyone do a fast.

A fast is a time then an individual does not eat food voluntarily denying the body food. You will determine for yourself how to do this. I can not speak for you, I fast with water and a splash of raw apple cider vinegar.

Fasting

What does the Scripture say about fasting?

• Seeking God appears to require fasting.

• When a man wants to know more of God he must put aside the carnal needs and gratifications such as food, and he must seek diligently for God in prayer.

(Joel 2:12 KJV+) Therefore also^H1571 now,^H6258 saith^H5002 the LORD,^H3068 turn^H7725 ye even to^H5704 me with all^H3605 your heart,^H3824 and with fasting,^H6685 and with weeping,^H1065 and with mourning:^H4553

(Daniel 9:3 KJV+) And I set^{H5414 (H853)} my face^H6440 unto^H413 the Lord^H136 God,^H430 to seek^H1245 by prayer^H8605 and supplications,^H8469 with fasting,^H6685 and sackcloth,^H8242 and ashes:^H665

When we acknowledge our sin and confess God’s righteousness and make supplication to Him, God honors that and sends us what we seek.

The second requirement may be that one confesses sin to God. Confession is acknowledgment that He is right in his judgment. Sin/iniquity is transgression of the law. He is faithful and just to forgive us of all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9 KJV+

(9) If^G1437 we confess^G3670 our^G2257 sins,^G266 he is^G2076 faithful^G4103 and^G2532 just^G1342 to^G2443 forgive^G863 us^G2254our sins,^G266 and^G2532 to cleanse^G2511 us^G2248 from^G575 all^G3956 unrighteousness.^G93

Examples of Fasting in Scripture

(Daniel 9:4 KJV+) And I prayed^H6419 unto the LORD^H3068 my God,^H430 and made my confession,^H3034 and said,^H559 O^H577 Lord,^H136 the great^H1419 and dreadful^H3372 God,^H410 keeping^H8104 the covenant^H1285 and mercy^H2617 to them that love^H157 him, and to them that keep^H8104 his commandments;^H4687

(Daniel 9:5 KJV+) We have sinned,^H2398 and have committed iniquity,^H5753 and have done wickedly,^H7561 and have rebelled,^H4775 even by departing^H5493 from thy precepts^{H4480 H4687} and from thy judgments:^{H4480 H4941}

(Daniel 9:6 KJV+) Neither^H3808 have we hearkened^H8085 unto^H413 thy servants^H5650 the prophets,^H5030 which^H834 spake^H1696 in thy name^H8034 to^H413 our kings,^H4428 our princes,^H8269 and our fathers,^H1 and to^H413 all^H3605 the people^H5971 of the land.^H776

• Then Daniel 9:7 acknowledges that there is a penalty for sin. The penalty is alienation from God.

(Daniel 9:7 KJV+) O Lord,^H136 righteousness^H6666belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion^H1322 of faces,^H6440 as at this^H2088 day;^H3117 to the men^H376 of Judah,^H3063 and to the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem,^H3389 and unto all^H3605 Israel,^H3478that are near,^H7138 and that are far off,^H7350 through all^H3605 the countries^H776 whither^{H834 H8033} thou hast driven^H5080 them, because of their trespass^H4604 that^H834 they have trespassed^H4603 against thee.

Daniel 9:19-23 KJV+ O Lord,^H136 hear;^H8085 O Lord,^H136 forgive;^H5545 O Lord,^H136 hearken^H7181 and do;^H6213 defer^H309 not,^H408 for thine own sake,^H4616 O my God:^H430 for^H3588 thy city^H5892 and thy people^H5971 are called^H7121 by thy name.^H8034(20) And whiles^H5750 I^H589was speaking,^H1696 and praying,^H6419 and confessing^H3034 my sin^H2403 and the sin^H2403 of my people^H5971 Israel,^H3478 and presenting^H5307 my supplication^H8467 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068 my God^H430 for^H5921 the holy^H6944 mountain^H2022 of my God;^H430(21) Yea, whiles^H5750 I^H589was speaking^H1696 in prayer,^H8605 even the man^H376 Gabriel,^H1403 whom^H834 I had seen^H7200 in the vision^H2377 at the beginning,^H8462 being caused to fly^H3286 swiftly,^H3288 touched^{H5060 H413} me about the time^H6256 of the evening^H6153 oblation.^H4503(22) And he informed^H995me, and talked^H1696 with^H5973 me, and said,^H559 O Daniel,^H1840 I am now^H6258 come forth^H3318 to give thee skill^H7919 and understanding.^H998(23) At the beginning^H8462 of thy supplications^H8469 the commandment^H1697 came forth,^H3318 and I^H589 am come^H935 to shew^H5046thee; for^H3588 thou^H859art greatly beloved:^H2530 therefore understand^H995 the matter,^H1697 and consider^H995 the vision.^H4758

The following is a cut and paste from the following website

What can we do?

Start using gold, silver, and other forms of money. I know that sounds extremely hard, because it is. You will probably be going at it alone (the more people that refuse to use these unjust weights and measures, the easier it is). If you own a business, start accepting gold and silver coins/medallions/bars as trade. If you do private work for someone, or own rental property, accept gold and silver as trade. If you believe that your product is superior to anyone else, you can require gold and silver as payment. By the way, when you collect a $50 gold American Eagle coin for your services, you now have the purchasing power of $1100 in Federal Reserve Notes. But the amount that is reported as income on your IRS forms (if you report any) is $50.

https://hebrewofyhwh.wordpress.com/2013/07/27/what-is-gods-word-on-lawful-money-what-is-lawful-money-and-why-should-be-we-use-it/

The advantages of using gold and silver as payment:

Let us say you bought your house for $100,000 (FRNs) and then 20 years later you sold it for $200,000 (FRNs). Many (including the IRS) would say that you made a $100,000 profit when actually you lost money. You see, over the last 20 years, you probably spent about $50,000 in maintenance cost. That puts your total money invested to about $150,000. But in the last 20 years, the dollar’s value decreased by half. So even if you didn’t put any maintenance into it (and the house miraculously stayed in the same condition as the day you bought it), you would only have broken even because of inflation.

Instead of selling the house for $220,000 (FRNs) you decided to trade it for $10,000 in US gold coin (A $50 gold coin minted by the US mint contains one ounce of gold. At $1100 an ounce that would be $220,000). Then you can actually right your house off as a loss!

Another reason we should stop using Federal Reserve notes is that we must keep other avenues of money open for trade. When the mark of the beast comes full force, it is going to be hard for people to trade any other way but by using the mark. I hear many Christians say, “I won’t take that mark”. Well, Satan has been a little smarter than most Christians. He is slowly implementing the mark. Like a fisherman, Satan is getting people to swallow the whole bait (mark) just a little at a time (Social Security number, Federal Reserve Notes, National I.D. card) until one day we will wake up in his boat. (On a side note, there is no real difference from a national I.D. card and a microchip implanted in your hand with the same information)
